Deep dish Pizza Hut style Pizza

For a pizza dough recipe with a crisp exterior and a soft and tender crumb, I included a liberal amount of oil, sugar, and milk instead of water. 
A warm oven was the perfect place for the dough to rise quickly, but I made sure not to let it get so hot that it would compromise the yeast. To prevent the pepperoni from leaching grease over the top of the Pepperoni Pan Pizza, I briefly micro waved it sandwiched between sheets of paper towel for about 45 seconds to 1 min.

Ingredients

Dough 

2 tablespoons of oil 

3/4 cup skim milk plus 2 additional tablespoons, warmed to 110 degrees 

1 teaspoons sugar 

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 package instant yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons of rapid rise yeast

1/2 teaspoon table salt 

Assemble all ingredients place in bread machine or mixer to form dough remove and divide in half for two 8 in deep dish pizzas or one 16 in pizza

place in preheated oven of 175 degrees once at this temperature turn oven off place pizzas in the oven for a short rise about 10 -15 min layer peperoni on paper towels and microwave approximately 1 min 10 seconds to help remove excess grease add sauce and cheese and any toppings you want then place pizzas in oven and heat oven to 400 degrees as the temperature rises this will give the pizza dough oven spring and allow the dough to rise creating the deep dish pizza like pizza hut, cook pizza at 400 degrees for approximately 20 to 30 minuets or until done then slice and eat. have fun and enjoy.
